FEATs OF AN ARMLEss MAN
There recently died at Potsdam, ST.
Lawrence county, New York, Richu
ard Donovan, who was in some re-
spects one of the most remarkable
men in northern New York. Twen-
ty years ago. when boy, Donovan
worked in a -four men. One day
he was caught in belt and received
injuries that necessitated taking off
both arms at the shoulders. This
misfortune did not discourage him.
and, after recovering his health, he
set about earning his livelihood as
best he could without the use of
hands or arms Part of the time he
had lived alone, and from the neces-
sityfof helping himself he became
wonderfully adept in performing
all kinds of work, using his feet and
mouth principally. He owned a
horse of which he took the entire
care, harnessed it, fastened the buck
les with his teeth, and drove with
the reins tied around his shoulders.
Being in need of wagon, he bought
wheels and axles and built box
buggy complete and painted it. He
went to the barn one winter day and
built cow stable, saving the tim
Der with his feet, and, with the
hammer in one foot and holding nail
with the other, he nailed the noard>
on as we'll as most men could with
their hands. He dug we'll twelve
feet deep on farm near this town
and stoood it himself. He could
NOW away hay by holding the fork
under his chin and letting it rest
against his shoulder. He would
pick up potatoes in the field as fast
as man could dig them. He would
dress himself, get his meals, write
his letters, and in fact do almost
anything that any man with two
arms could do.-Boston Transcript.

Confederate stamps have a valu.
now that was not thought If when
they were recognized as pass ports
through the Confederate mails. The
values huctuate. The 5 and 10 cent
black ofGoliad, Texas, issue of 1861.
are worth 800. The 2 cent black.
issue of 1861, of Mobile, is worth
new $35, used $50. The 5 cent blue,
of Mobile, issue of 1861, is worth
$3.50, used. The 5 cent blue of
Charlestod, S. c., issue of 1861, used
or unused, is worth $3.50. The 5
cent red, issue of 1861, of Knoxville,
is worth $3.50. The 5 cent blue,
issue of 1861, of Lynchburg, is
worth, new, $40. AS mementos OF
nationality that had vigorous and
recognized existence for four years,
andthen perished for ever, they have
an interest not merely sentimental.
They indelibly mark momentous
pagesin human history.

A SENSATION IN RALEIGH.

Says the Raleigh correspondent ofihe
Richmond Dispatch, under date of the
Ist:
A great sensation was caused in this
clay to-day by the action of the solicitor
of the Superior Court in presenting sew
eral druggists and physicians foI viola
ton of the prohibitory law. The indict-
ments charge that the physicians issued
bogus prescriptions for whiskey. None
of the physicians so indicted are mem.
bers of the Raleigh Academy of Medi-
cine.
There were also two convictions to-
day for violation of this law by mer-
chants. One of these was fined $50 aud
sent to Jail for sixty days.
The fsct was to-day made known for
the first time that the Enforcement
Committee of the Prohibition Associa-
ton has had detectives at work here for
the past six weeks investigating these
matters

WATER Works.

WATER WoRKs.
The lessons taught by fire are begin
ming to Ee needed. The towns thai have
been scorched are showing that "a burn
ed child breads the fire." Water works
are becoming recognized as necessary safe
gcaris. Perhaps the first to lead the way
in this State was the town of Fayet eville
in 1918 with reservoir on Haymount,
gathering spring water sufficient to sup
ply the town with drinking water, but
never enough for fire engine purposes;
and these works still exist in the original
efficiency. Raleigh made an effort about
1922, obtaining water from Rocky Branch,
but they soon failed. And then there
was long interval until some eight or
ten years ago Wilmington established an
elaborate and sue1essfuf s. stem. Char
lotte followed the example with the same
success. We think Asheville was the
third, it's supply being more constant
and abundant than enjoyed by other
communities, derived from a full, never
failing mountain river. Now Raleigh is
renewing its efforts for a bounteous sup
ply; and Goldsboro, Durham, Green's
boro and Salisbury have embarked in the
same laudable enterprise. There is not
q town in the State that would not have
eaved money and added to health by
having the same provisions. Lumber
ton, Oxford, Reidsville, Laurinb, rg, and
other afflicted towns need not have
mourned their calamity if they had been
wise in time.

A SAD ENDING.

A SAD ENDING.
The public generally have heard
of the tragical collision in the court
room in Newberry, s. c., between
Messrs. Johnston and Jones, mem
bers of the bar, in which both were
badly wounded by pistol shots.
Yesterday afternoon a telegram was
received here giving inform ltion OF
the death of Mr.. Jones at 3 p. m.
Mr.. John B. Jones. was son of
Maj Lambert J. Jones, and brother
of Mr. Benson NJ. Joues, who mar
ried Mrs Little, daughter of the late
Nicholas M. Woodfin, of Asheville.
So that we also are associated in
interest with the sad tate of The un>
fortunate deceased

ing and peaches all cooked.
The Greensboro Patriot says: The
new Office and freight depot of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, loca-
ted near the principal offices of the COM
pany, are now being covered and when
the buildings are completed this great
railroad will have as good freight depot
and ticket office as any road in the State.
Thanks to the progressive spirit thus
indicated by the managers.-The rail
road depot at Gibsonville was burned on
Monday. The loss on the freight in the
building was about $1,000.
Raleigh Visitor: The city authorities

a lively suit.
Charlotte is taking the epidemic. The
Chronicle says: "As an instance of our
boom" said Mr.. Eccles, "you can state
that certain capitalist here has, within
the past few weeks, invested $500,
cash, in Charlotte real estate. This is
no business on paper, but real cash
transaction. During the past six months,
this capitalist's investments IN Charlotte
amount to $27, 400. tell you," conclud-
ed Mr. Eccles, you have no idea how
the value of Charlotte real estate is
and what deman there is
for property. We have boom here in
Charlotte, and depend upon it, and it is
a substantial one"

DR.. J. G. Queen has added to his
dental Office some very complete
equipments, one of which is chair
of fine fin sh, and to our view, of
remarkable mechanism. And though
we find little tn win us to dental

as anywhere else outside the In

could torture US sectndeHa dTtenl with

The Court closed its long session of
three weeks last evening. 1t has been a
very busy and laborioRs term, and we
are glad to say was notencumbered with
any criminal trials. Judge Graves has
honors for Lis patience, bis fairness, and
we must add, his ability; for We know
we are 30 exalted in, the estimation of
the bar and of the people than was Judge
Graves by that wonderfully able and
admirably expressed opinion IN the case
to which Deaver and Patterson were
parties defendant. We shall always
greatly deplore that such an opinion, so
valuable guide to the bar, such q monu
ment of defense of the rights of the peo-
pie, was altogether extempore, and was
never before or afterwards committed to
writing. We hope, in his leisure, his
Honor may recall what his labors have
not yet permitted him to reduce to wri-
ting.

FRUIT AND Crop NoTEs.

rRU1T AND SkOP -NOTES.
Out of the general cry of COM
plain; about the loss of the fruit,
there comes one voice of good cheer.
Mr.. C. C. Crook says he will have
about half crop of peaches. He
occupies sort of thermal belt"
His neighbors are not so fortunate.
The tobacco plants in several Sec
tions have been killed by the cold.
In this, however, damages may be
repaired.
The farmers generally have
reached the wise conclusion to cul-
tivate less tobacco lands, make crops
that will bring good prices, and give
greater attentions to bread and meat
crops.
